Finished my first week of school.
So I started school right now. I think Statistics will be my favorite class this semester. Yeah, I know I'm boring like that.
Anyways, the biggest change this semester is the fact that I have a job now. I... Will be quite frank, I think having the extra money is nice, but it's not fun going to school and having a job.
That and the job is one of the most tedious jobs known to man.
And I think my journal needs a better layout, the more I look at it, the more I think it sucks.

Writer's Block: Words that you love and hate
What are your favorite and least favorite words? Any reasons why?
Well that little question thing popped up so I decided to answer it. What is my favorite word? Hmm... Probably "Oaf." No, it's not because I go around insulting people, I just find it a funny word that's all. I mean, oaf just sounds like it's talking about something stupid, even if you have no idea what the word means.
My least favorite word? Probably the word responsibilty. It's not that I'm irresponsible, but I hate the word because it seems to be the catalyst for several arguments. Particularly family oriented ones. People drone on about how "they aren't responsible" or "such and such should be more responsible." Seriously, just mind your own business. I only believe this, because people start playing the blame game when it comes to discussing responsibility. It's annoying.
Anyways, I haven't got to post much in general because I'm taking summer courses this semester. The speed is a lot faster, but I think it's worth it. It's tougher than I thought it would be, but nothing impossible.
Hopefully after the semester is over I can actually focus on getting a job. With it being summer, there are plenty of employment opporunities. Especially with extra stores being built in the area. I swear, I used to feel like I lived in a Urban area... But that's gone. Oh well.
This summer hasn't been to interesting because of classes. I'll bring up more stuff later when it's not so late.
So anyone else that responds to this, how is your summer going?

Shuffle through life... >_>
HAHA. We kept moving stuff and we had to move the fish from the old house... My sister KILLED my 2- 10 YEAR OLD FISH! She also killed my newer 2 year old fish. Only one survived the... (one got crushed by the castle in the tank). It was horrible. I can't help but mourn their loss. Lesson learned, my sister cannot drive.
Speaking of driving, I finally stopped goofing off and got my license. It's awesome that I got that, so getting a job should be simple now. Great good golly gosh. XD
Let's see, still got to do my research paper, I've started it, but I still want to find more information. It's funny, with only 1500 words, it makes me really have to decide what's important to the paper. Hopefully it continues going smoothly.
Still unpacking. Thank god most of the problems are over. Haha (my washer is broken... so I've been wearing the strangest outfits... >_>;)
Math. I have a test tomorrow. It shouldn't be too bad. Just hvae to concentrate. No sweat there. Gotta make this one an "A" too.
Finally, I'm glad I don't date people. My sister's make dating look... sucky... I mean, they complain about everything that happens. "OH MY GOSH HE'S LIKE SO ANNOYING!" or my favorite one "MY BOYFRIEND IS GAY!" ROFL. Seriously, if you're "boyfriend" is gay, what does that say about your appearance!? XD God I am loving my sister's boy troubles.
1. Strange day? something the matter?
2. Draw and Post Three ISO characters in separate papers XD
Vince would be surprised XD
3. Amber
4. You are very sociable and very friendly in nature! no joke XP
5. Right, I know you have been active in Vince's ISO comic postings...does this count? lolz ^^'
6. To be honest...I thought you were a ferret at first..then it shifted into being a wolf...so, uhh...hehe
7. Do you have DA, FA or a Yaoi account?
8. Now for the Fun part...post this in your journal XD
And because Gruff asked me to post this in my general, I most certainly will do just as he requested. Hmm... It's nice to have Internet friends. Though my response is really on HIS journal. XD

Packing and Cracking
I'm still to exhausted to really do much of anything. This time I have a lot to say today.
First off, we finally (AND I MEAN FINALLY) started moving to the new house. I was exactly excited to move. Why? Because we were packing, yeah, that's right, no super, strong, movers that do it for you. So yeah, it's slow and arduous and I really don't feel like doing it. My new room, is like the exact same size as my old one except the closet is a smaller rectangle (I think that I might just stay in the closet a lot just because of it's shape). Anyway, so we're moving and moving and moving (yeah it's that monotonous)... Nothing's really going smoothly, but not to shabby either.
We get the tv set up and then the problems started with the house. Electricity, plumbing, just about everything that makes a house a decent place to live was messed up. It wouldn't have been nearly as annoying had we not had an inspector and NOT had the guy that originally owned the house promise to fix these things. Not only that, but the circuits in the house were so BAD that we couldn't even use the power! Sparks flew out too. Which would have been more visually inspiring had it not been in the house. Damn. Then the ciruit breaker was in the bathroom! In the FOCCING BATHROOM!!!!! HOLY HELLTASTIC OF MOTHER FLIPPIN' GOD DOSOMOFO EARTH! >_> What was this a house of death originally?
Then the plumbing was just awful... >_> No washing machine. Never had a worn such horrible outfits in my life. I mean, it was horrible even for my fashion sense. Thank god it's fixed now. And last but not least, I passed a Math test with a flipping "A" after thinking I had failed from a combination of lack of sleep, medicine and pollen that was over 5000.
All in all, I have more respect for washing machines and electricity. Oh, and due to boredom, I learned how to juggle 3+ items. I also got in a bit of physical shape from all of this packing.

I'm beginning to think I should change my text journal's name to "Ramblings of a Lost Soul"
So I had spring break and it was boring and all. The only significant thing was that I got my wisdom teeth out, it actually kind of ruined the whole thing for me. Except now that I feel better I don't have to worry about my next stiffening nearly as much anymore. That's the main part that made it all worth it in the end. So I really didn't have Torticollis after all, but just wisdom teeth problems.
What baffles me the most about wisdom teeth is the fact that they call them wisdom teeth... Because you should be "fairly wise" by the time you receive them, yet I would hardly could 15-18 as a "fairly wise" age. That's crazy.
Then I got my portfolio back. I got a B on it. I wasn't to thrilled. No, the B was fine, I'm a pretty mediocre writer in my opinion. What got to me was the fact that the professor made me feel like... Like... I'm really stuck-up. Obssessed with myself even. That I don't write for the satisfaction of others by simply myself (she says I even sort of talk that way). So I guess I'll have to start back at square one for writing to people again. I mean, one professor makes you think you write decently, and then another professor just flatout hates your style. My question is, if people all have different opinions on what's good and bad, then who the hell cares!? I don't say this to be rude, but seriously, is it even possible to have a solid, concrete answer to the question: "what makes a good writer?" Admititly I am redudant in my essays so no questions there. But seriously can ANYONE give that answer to what makes a good essay? I suppose it would be the one that made whoever you were writing it to happy. Hmm... So viewers, is this good enough for you!?
Then I got bored and realized the power of the worthless paint. I don't feel like posting a link through imageshack or photobucket so hopefully LJ can do it 'write'. It didn't take long, about 30 minutes total, and then I just fudged around with it in Arcstudio, a piece of nifty software that came with my scanner.
I still haven't gotten to see 300. I was supposed to go with some friends this weekend but those teeth had to ruin it. Though I half expected one of my friends to yell "THIS. IS. SPARTA!!" at me for not wanting to go when my mouth was in pain. Oh and I'll try to post more often. I don't want my LJ to be boring.

Weirdness...(rant style)
So I actually started doing an assignment in Psychology class. Thank God because I was actually getting a bit bored with that class. All we'd do is sit there and take notes that we already had. It was kind of silly. Now we actually have discussions in the class! Better work slowly to make this assignment as long as possible.
Lit class we are just watching a movie. We have to take notes just in case she gives an essay... Like I don't see that happening!
Accounting. I need help on chapter 21. I don't understand why I can do math perfectly fine but accounting someone how manages to ALWAYS get the best of me.
Then finally Math is going smoothly of course. It would go smoother with the right calculator that refeuses to come in but...
Real life. My sister thinks that I was looking at gay porn because it was jam in HER recent documents. ROFL... Wait... That's not funny, that's serious business... Whatever, but it does make me want to say this: "I'm more determined to get a girlfriend now". XD
What else is weird? The house my mom was going to get that has been on the market for 6 months unwanted just randomly had someone decide they wanted it and would pay more for that then she would... That was such a run-on sentence but I don't care.
And turnitin.com is the most evil website in existence.
That's pretty much all that happened in my life right now. Not very exciting is it?
Though I might post a doodle I drew after 45 minutes of boredom in that Psych class . u
Sorry for grammatical errors, my nephew keeps pounding no the keyboard...

[Link] | So this 3 day weekend probably isn't going to be anything special because I am packing all of my stuff before we move. It's not too bad considering the fact that many of the stuff was already boxed for some strange reason. Now all I have to do is just start moving the boxes really. That should be over in like 3 weeks I believe.
Saturday my Psychology book came in so now I can actually catch up with the parts that I had missed from the book. It's actually fairly interesting so far. I never really was a Psychology fan, but it's slowly starting to become more enjoyable the more I study the subject.
So it's my sisters birthday today. She's actually turning 20 today. It's hard to imagine that with how much she's regressed in the past few years. I'm all for "finding yourself", but she's just like borderline psychotic now. She's so concerned about herself, I can't even BEGIN to try to give my gift to her. Oh well, I'll just cancel the debt she owns me and call it a day. At least the rest of my siblings aren't acting like that.
First week of school went fairly well. A quiz on friday for math classes, it would have been nice to have actually gotten more practice but my book still hasn't come in for that class. That's rather unforetunate, hopefully it will arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.
And finally for no reason in particular I finally finished Tales of the Abyss. Great game, with an excellent story (although it did drag at certain points). I finally got around to beating that final boss (won't tell just in case some random person views this). The ending was pretty mediocre but it was far from the worst ending I've ever seen. Now I want to play it again just so I can do all of the sidequest I appearently missed out on, and I really want to try out that "Unknown" difficulty.

I'll remember to be wiser.
I'll remember that I should just keep with what I think in the first place rather than allow my siblings to drag me around. Now matter how nice I'm trying to be instead of being a "ye olde stick in thee mud". If being "boring" is what it means to keep a better relationship with your siblings and friends, then I'll just remain boring then. Long story short, I'm not going to take martial arts from my sister anymore. I never wanted to in the first place, but only did it to be nice... But after that- no it wasn't rigorous training that made me want to stop either- I'm not going to even attempt to bother doing it even more. But I will say this: since she has returned from up North, she has had the largest chip on her shoulders. Let's just get this straight. You're not invincible. You're not indomitable. You're not intimidating. And most importantly, YOU ARE NOT MY INSTRUCTOR. You're not anything but my older sister. That's the way it should be and that's the way it'll remain. I'll remember not to be a fool and ignore my instincts (not even instincts, but just going against my better judgment really) like that again. That's so awful that I seem to have become so distant from everyone in my family in a year. But it's not just me, it's everyone, and yet, everyone else seems to be blissfully unaware of what's going on. Oh well, I'll just sit back and let it happen, no point in trying to talk, because I'm just the youngest so no one will care.
What bothers me the most is that it seems like every time I have an even slightly meaningful LJ... It's negative. I really don't want to look back on this years later and realize that all I ever thought about were the negative times in life. Sure 6 years from now I might read this and fall into a fit of laughter, but as of right now, I'm not. Plus, even if I did look back, I'd probably feel more pity than anything else. Which is a shame, that's not the point of a journal. It's merely to report everything. So let me try to think of some positive points right now.
I'm in college. I'm paid for the first 2 years at the very least. I have an A the portfolio. Knowing that, I'll see how to make the next writing portfolio even better. Also, I found all of my old notes for that silly game I was trying to make a while back. I didn't find all of the notes, but I found enough to get started again and not have to start over again. I then also managed to recall the speed formula for the characters movement... The rest of the classes aren't really bothering me that much. Which is always good. But I hate feeling so cocky about my classes though... They might sneak up on me if I'm not careful.
Which brings me to the game now! I still haven't started spriting yet. Hopefully when I finally start programming I can find someone to do the artwork for me. It's not that I'm lousy at art, but there are people that are much better and faster than me at creating artwork (although some think my drawings are cute, it might affect people in terms of initial impressions). First I want to get the idea completely down on paper for the battle system that I'm creating first off, then I want to create the program- this is going to be by far the toughest part (obviously kid) seeing as how- unlike other people who actually bother trying to make their first game (well it's technically not my first but the others were so crappy that I don't WANT to count those boogers XD) I don't plan on borrowing ideas and just recreating and already creating a battle system... That's right, I want it to be something odd, quirky and original. The only problem with that is that if I hit a few bugs and glitches other more experiences (real programs and not psudo-programmers) won't be as useful in terms of advice. Oh well, I love a good puzzle and I'm up for the challenge.
So things I need to really get completed
1. Organize notes for Final Exams.
2. Finish that last Homework assignment (SO CLOSE)
3. Finish the rest of the character stats
4. Finish the formulas for the battle system
5. Work on a program for all of the above
6. Officially declare that I've changed to mathematics for my major ¬_¬
7. Make more avatars (I'm tired of this one for some reason... Maybe I'll be a girl with pink hair next time XD)
8. Get a job (really this should be higher but... I've searched for quite some time and I'm a bit flustered as well as exhausted from my unsuccessful efforts)
9. Compose more pieces for the game. Perhaps music theory would help me a bit... I already play music.
10. Avoid parenthesis
HA and I do have a picture. I just haven't scanned it yet. I didn't forget... I'll put it up when I wake up later.
I'm assuming I should just do this on my own rather than rely on the uploading abilities of livejournal... I'll give a better one next time anyway, that one wasn't even really MEANT to be put on here...

Nothing Much this time...
I realized today that I let myself get dragged around a lot. I need to learn to be a bit more resolute in my decisions. Okay, I'll put it in writing (typing!?) so that I can always refer back to this so if I ever deviate from what I said I can always have a constant reminder.
"I'm going to be more resolute in my decisions."
I'll even put my words to the test: I will have a least one picture posted the next time I make a LJ post in my journal.

Martial Arts...
Assignment... Watch the rain fall, watch the trees blow for light, graceful movements. Unlike my rock solid, stiff movements. I should have just taken up dancing.

School can still be awful I guess... (stream-of-concious right now)
Basically a crappy week. I searched everywhere for a ridiculous folder that I needed for a project. Just about every store I could think of... Ranging from Wal Mart to Kroger. Somehow I just couldn't find the stupid item. To add to the frustration of not being able to find the folder, my partners did a poor job of proofreading my work. As a result, I barely had anything to summarize for my proof reading... Hopefully that doesn't affect my grade because that just sucks. So in order to accomplish something positive, I pulled an all-nighter to revise my papers on my own - without the help of "partners".
After staying up all night, I bring the another folder in (not the one the teacher asked for just another one) and she says she won't accept the portfolio because it's not the right folder. I wouldn't have minded this so much, accept for the fact that she failed to inform anyone of this information. Then she turns around and says it's -10 each day to add insult to injury it seems. Then my next class I had a surprise quiz that I didn't really study for because I stayed up all night. The good news was that I got a 89 on it. Not what I wanted, but I'll take it due to the previous night. But back to the other part about the portfolio; so I called my sister and she searched for the folder and I had to basically redo my whole portfolio just to appease my teacher. After I did the portfolio, I searched all around school for her. Apparently in my rage I didn't hear her say "Just slide it underneath my office door" (that's really weird now that I think about that) and didn't do just what she asked. Instead I just frantically searched for her racing around the campus for about 2 to 3 hours. It was awful. And I hate running that much. On a bright side, I actually did exercise this week, something I rarely ever do.
Finally, learning my sister's kenpou... I need to learn how to dance so I can get better balance. I'll never be able to keep up without it. I can beat the average opponent easily... but when it comes to people with experience, my flaws show up a bit too much for my liking. And I learned appearently I fear being hit?
So all in all an average week, but it could have been better. Much, much better.

[Link] | Just a short blab to say I got my scanner. Now I can finally start a comic now... For some reason, I don't feel as excited as I thought I would. Oh, I know why: it's because my inking skills suck. X_x

[Link] | Nothing good happened today. Today all I realized is that my sister (er one of them, the youngest one) I am starting to like less and less. She's become such self-centered person recently, it's really, really pathetic... I don't know, I just feel like venting at something right now. It's just that I don't understand, why does my- no our mother- put up with someone that just doesn't appreciate anything or anyone but their own health? Why? It just makes me sick. Disgusted... Bah whatever. Still a few more days until I get a scanner...

heh. Nothing happened today... Except my sister got bit by her hamster. As pointless as that sounds, nothing is more entertaining than watching someone get bitten by an overly aggressive hamster. Let's just say... he took a bite out of crime. But it gets a bit funnier. My sister than exclaims OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #)@$(&@#)($*!
HAHA...

[Link] | First journal Entry:
Today's the first time I used this little thing. It's neat I suppose. Lots of bad stuff has happened to me, so I decided... HEY WHY NOT START A JOURNEL THINGEE TO MAKE IT FUNNY WHEN PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET REREAD IT!
ALL MY GOOD STUFF GOT TAKEN FROM ME!! Now I have to work with standard MS.Paint again. >_> Oh well, I guess these pictures didn't come out to badly. I'll start building up ASAP and make it my own. I used to have a scanner and a photoshop... but ever sense my parents separation (you know what I mean), I don't have one anymore. So now I have to start looking for a job. That's okay though.
What do you think of these little pics? I haven't been doing them in a while... Maybe I'm rusty?
